Any bee's have any real-world expirience with the benzo synth from hydroquinone using H2O2, I2 in IPA?

That was one of the first synths that I considered, but then realized that I did not have any access to K/Na dicromate, and the yields looked pretty shitty....

The synth with H2O2 in IPA is supposed to have yields around 95%...
